I opened a checking account with bank of america. Recently privacy assist service automatically added into my account with customer confirmation. This is not free for the bank of america, it usually charged $8.99 every month. This service should be enabled only customer get prior approval for adding this service.

I request everyone who opens account with bank of america to check periodically their account statements and go to the bank immediately if something not known to them. In the future, avoid opening a new account from bank of america.

I request everyone to open accounts other than bank of america. Some of the banks have better service(Chase bank, Capital one, Discover bank). Try to open such a accounts to build good relatioship with these banks.
